Mystery in the Air

The Mask of Medusa

English · Mystery & Thriller, Dramatic Readings, Anthologies

Mystery in the Air is a dramatic anthology hosted by Peter Lorre, whose distinctive, unsettling voice gives the program its character. Each broadcast presents a self-contained mystery or suspense story, often adapted from literary fiction, with Lorre introducing the tale and guiding listeners into its shadowy world.

The series draws on stories of psychological tension, crime, and the uncanny. In “The Mask of Medusa,” the title points toward a tale shaped by mystery and menace. Rather than following a continuing cast, the program’s appeal lies in hearing a new story unfold through radio acting, narration, and sound.

Lorre’s measured delivery lends the show an intimate, eerie atmosphere, balancing literary storytelling with the immediacy of a radio drama. The result is a compact listening experience for fans of classic suspense, where voice and imagination do much of the work.
